Bug#715010: ITP: dhcpy6d - DHCP server for IPv6



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Daniel Pocock <daniel@pocock.com.au>

Upstream is Henri, on CC.  His web site is

   http://dhcpy6d.ifw-dresden.de

I've offered to help him get the package in shape but we would
potentially like help from another sponsor

Benefit to Debian:
- the ISC DHCPD package doesn't ship with IPv6 init script
- the ISC DHCPD package doesn't support MAC-based IPv6 clients, that is
a major hassle for some people
- this package appears to be a good solution

I've tried the package from the upstream web site, it has some easily
fixed lintian errors and warnings (e.g. a copy of a log file is included
in the package)

Two small problems prevent the daemon starting on wheezy:

python-dnspython needs to be added to the system (should be a dependency)

It fails to find modules from /usr/share/pyshared - adding this code to
/usr/sbin/dhcpy6d fixes it:

sys.path[0:0] = ['/usr/share/pyshared']
